Donald Trump's past few days have to have been the strangest, so far, of his presidency. He made every effort to get our closest allies to despise him, and he rolled over on his back for the leader of the worst nation in the world. He and his sycophants insulted Justin Trudeau of Canada for saying they would levy tariffs on our goods and services if we did that to Canada. A Trump toady, Peter Navarro, said Trudeau should occupy a special place in Hell for saying that.

There were not enough words found in the dictionary to use as praise for Kim Jung-un. This is a man who killed his half-brother and his uncle. He is a mass killer of his own people, but Trump likes him. The latter is especially fond of North Korea's beaches. Trump viewed them in videos when artillery was shooting shells into the water (not kidding). He says such beaches would be great for condominiums.

The meeting between the dictator and the would-be autocrat only took place after North Korea said they did not like the joint military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea. Trump canceled them to please Kim and did not even tell South Korea beforehand. The great negotiator gave Kim something he desperately wanted without getting anything in return.

Virtually everyone knows that Kim Jong-un will never give up his atomic and hydrogen bombs or his missiles. Trump is willing to place almost complete faith in one of the earth's worst humans in order to be able to claim that he (Trump) has done something positive on the world stage. Our former friends no longer trust us or like us, but our enemies in North Korea, Russia, and China just love our dear leader.
